I don’t disagree that it provides benefits to the ADF, I’m just not sure if the benefits to the partner nations outweigh the risks from their perspective.
Is there anything China needs from those countries (other than possibly basing rights) that they cannot buy? What interest would they have in boots on the ground unless we give them one?
On the other hand, is that a risk PNG, Fiji etc want to take? Maybe they do agree to Australia investing in bare bases without permanently assigned assets.
